The qualities that elevate truly enduring architecture above the rest are epitomised in this iconic Marshall Cook designed Mid-Century home. Before he became recognised as one of New Zealand's most revered architects, Cook was commissioned to design this substantial residence and, in the process, helped to transform the language of design in this country.

The home's use of open plan living spaces, its north-facing orientation and its configuration around courtyards were innovative at the time of its creation in 1970, accelerating the movement towards spaces designed for easy relaxation and entertaining that flow between indoors and out.

Built using double skin brick combined with the warmth of exposed structural Kauri beams and timber accents, the considered spatial planning and materials result in an elegant design that is as fresh and intriguing today as when the home was created. Recent upgrades have accentuated these origins and combined them with modern home comforts.

Enter through the home's skylight-lit brick-lined foyer, past two of the four bedrooms, into the first generous living room. Descend through the central axis to discover a light-filled expansive main family living area featuring high ceilings and a sunny glazed outlook to one of the home's five private courtyards. The renovated kitchen utilises timber cabinetry accented with decorative deep green tiles in harmony with the style of the home, opening to the dining area warmed by a wood burner.

The primary suite includes a beautifully finished ensuite and large walk in robe stepping out to a private outdoor area, a huge site that has great potential for a pool with its lush, green outlook. The home's private back section comprises two bedrooms with built in wardrobes and separate bathroom and powder room.

Set on a super-sized 1404sqm (approximately) freehold site, design enthusiasts and those seeking a lifestyle of tranquility, space, beauty and practicality will feel the allure of this masterpiece.
